- installing cat cams stage 2 camshaft in my b200e engine, volvo 245. this is the largest camshaft they make for the b230 engine ( heads are the same on b200e and b230) before you need to install an adjustable cam gear and valve springs.
vehicle is stock engine wise apart from side pipe and viscose fan delete. milage is 170k miles.

Cam added about 12hp...cat cams claim 10 to 15hp as a straight install so seems on the money.
Cam is of no use on a automatic car as power band now doesn't start until 4k and ends at 7k.
Thank you for taking the time to show the plots. I have a B200F and your 7901403 cam is too high revving for me. The similar H, K and KG Trimning KG004 cams are standard fare for early B23E 240 GLT.
Anyway, at least I now know I'm looking at a 791402. I suspect the KG001 may still put maximum torque around 4500 rather than closer to 4000 which I hope for.
BTW, milling the head down should give better results across the board.
Awesome video! Keep em coming!
245th subscriber thanks this a video about a Volvo 245!
I got a B200K, 2mm milled 530 and ported ports + combustion chamber, weber 38/38, ported intake, H camshaft, and stronger valve springs, last silencer gone
Good work. I've got twin 45 webers to go on just haven't done it...work is just flat out. Still got the cam pulley sat on my tool box taunting me.
This thing sounds wiiilddd
If sometime drove my 240 like that she would literally explode.
The abuse I've given that poor volvo is insane and the only think that's ever gone wrong was a faulty rotor arm. Great cars.
Nice job !
I have a k cam on my 245. -3mm on the head and e85 fuel. I need to go to the Dyno but no time since 1 year of covid... Maybe 135hp or little more i think. Lot of power after 3500 rpm.!
Yeah I've had a nuke cam pulley to fit for nearly a year but with covid etc I just haven't been that enthusiastic about doing anything. Poor car has hardly been driven in a year.
Your set up sounds good. I'm very lucky as the place I work has a dyno and we use it for free.
Less power than what the 16v makes stock lmao
Hi, very sweet ! What rims and tires are you running ?
To save writing it out again, someone else asked the same thing. @sheldonw a few comments down has all the info in.
Thanks and have a good one
what exhaust setup are you running specifically? (if you could link the parts or mention them that'd be great!) sounds nice and throaty. My 240 wagon has a side exit with just the cat installed but lately its just becoming too much and I wanna add an additional piece to silence it a little bit but not have it sound like it has a cherry bomb or have a similar rasp to a modified honda. I'm also hoping to upgrade from my B cam to a KG003 cam soon once they come back in stock so I can have a bit more power while hopefully keeping my B23F non interference but sounding cammed asf. Love your wagon and how clean it looks!
My car has no cat from factory and the exhaust is a standard one cut up and welded back together so it would exit where I wanted. It's using just the mid box. However it is very loud which might not come across in the video, long journeys hurt my hearing.
@@garethod1634 i only had a cat that led to a side exit and man it was freakin loud, daily drove it for roughly 7 months like that. Now i have my cat and a glass pack installed, definitely not quiet but no longer obnoxiously deafening anymore like it used to be
so this is like a higher duration H cam then? because the lift is almost identical but dur is less at 272dur in and 268exaust lift 12mm/11.5mm and 109 deg lobe angle.
also not sure about the k-jet but these cams like more timing, my lh2.4 240 B230fx pulled stronger at mid rpm with a H cam and a ignition chip for advancing the ignition timing and curve than it did stock with a VX cam that is meant to pull at those rpm
I really need to fit and dial in the nuke cam pulley I bought to try and increase the low down pick up. As the A cam the engine had definitely pulled much better below 4k rpm. Sadly haven't really used the car much since the cam was fitted due to work and covid.
Thanks for the comment.
@@garethod1634 covid has been a pain in the ass.. would love to Dyno my car as it is a couple of go faster mods on it but still a NA 2.3 with no head work. would love to shave 1-1.5mm of the head but machine shops have been so busy it wont happen in a while and it is my daily so ripping the engine apart is not really an option unless i have another head to send in...
I’m looking for new pullys but can’t find any decent ones do you know the place your got yours I’m in Uk 🇬🇧 think you aswell by the number plate ,car sounds well good screaming with that cam 120+ that’s good for a cam
Yeah UK for me. The company I work for deals direct with nuke...and they don't really sell the cam pulley in the uk but they packed it in with a waste gate order we had coming in from Sweden. So sorry but I've no idea where to get one in the uk other than import it and pay the taxes.
Throaty sum buck!
looks like the dyno chap made a few runs and got better power. What was he changing? I can't imagine much could be changed within the ecu?
Vehicle has no ecu as it's k-jettronic.
Power will always vary run to run by a few horsepower, nothing was changed, just a power run to see what the new baseline would be.
Most likely reason for the small increase would be that the gearbox and diff oils were getting warmer and drag was deducing.
Hello, I have a stock b200e k-jet on my 240, do i need anything else apart from the camshaft? Can i just get one and install it? Greetings from Peru
You will need to shim the camshaft to get the correct valve clearance but other than that it goes straight in and works fine.
How so some 240s have square wjeels and the offset looks perfect but some have the wide ass front traxk poking the fronts outside the femder ????
Down to wheel offset or wheel spacers. A standard 240 has the wheels far inside the arch
I'm new to volvos and building a 240.and that wide track bugs the shit outta me
Hey are those VW Steel wheels? Where did you get them from and what size are they? Tire size? Thank you
They are 16inch by 7.5 steel rims in volvo correct centre bore and pcd, offset is 45 so the wagon has large spacers on. They come from a Citroën dispatch van...Peugeot boxer van is the same vehicle so would fit. The tyres are 205/45/16 but next time I'd probably fit a 215 or 225 tyre.
But if you're in the states then these vehicles were never available stateside.
@@garethod1634 thank you as my 84 244DL came on 14” steelies. He did give me the turbo coupe wheels from the 242. But they need refinishing. I may run those as they are an inch bigger and I need new tires anyways
Any idea if this would fit my 240 with a b200k?
It will fit. But as stated in the video you'll lose power by quite a bit under 4k, so as long as revving to 6.5k is something your happy with it should be fine.
Definitely no good for a automatic car though due to valve overlap and torque loss.
Is there a benefit to deleting your fan?
A permanent engine driven fan takes far more engine power to spin than you get from the occasional alternator load that an electrical fan makes. Also the engine heats up faster. And the engine is quieter as the don't here the fan spinning. You only really need the fan now and then.
There's a reason all modern vehicles dropped engine driven fans.
But saying that it really doesn't make a huge difference haha. But every little helps in a slow car.
@@garethod1634 thanks man thats good to know!
Where about’s did you buy the cam, I can’t find it anywhere :/
www.catcams.co.uk
This is the website you need. It lists places you can buy from as you can not buy direct unless you are trader.
It's a UK company though so I doubt you'll be able to get a cam unless you buy from the UK and export it.
I’m from the UK so that shouldn’t be an issue (hopefully)
@@garethod1634 Do you know a Volvo specific website that sells them, as I can’t find one that does xD
@@funkyman645 research cams from this list, google to find out more. There are swedish companies to buy from.
@@blackedelweiss601 thanks man, I’ll have look at some
How big of valve springs?
Valve springs are the original standard volvo ones. This cam fits with all the standard parts. Will just need shims to set valve clearance.
@@garethod1634 sweet, I'll look into it, what shims I need will be based upon what cam I have currently from factory and how much wear has taken place? Does this mean I just have to have factory clearance, which is why it's important to have the right shim thickness with the correct camshaft?
@@garethod1634 I'm looking at buying an H cam with valve springs and an adjustable timing gear
How much did you pay for your camshaft? Sounds like you have a standard transmission.. I have a B230F with an automatic AW70.... Would there be any problem with me running the same camshaft as you have. I'm running a VX cam with ported and polished and gasket matched head with gasket matched header, and gasket matched and ported intake manifold both sides, h-beam rods, high flow oil pump, had to shave the deck due to scratches, now have 9.99:1 compression ratio.. I really want to run that cam if I can.
Lot of time and expense for basically 10hp.
Certainly is.
@@garethod1634 dimes into dollars turn. 10 here, 10 there...
